In a statement issued on December 9, NPC Chairman Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi condemned the incidents, calling them unacceptable, and urged all stakeholders to collaborate for peace.

The NPC highlighted the active involvement of its 16 Regional Peace Councils, which are working with stakeholders, including the Ghana Police Service and Regional Security Councils, to address tensions.
